AWS D1.1 (Structural Welding Code)

AWS D1.1 is a standard set by the American Welding Society that outlines best practices for welding steel structures, such as buildings and bridges. It specifies requirements for materials, design, production, and inspection to ensure safety and quality in welded connections. This code helps engineers, fabricators, and inspectors maintain consistency and reliability in the construction process, ultimately leading to structures that are strong, safe, and built to last. Following AWS D1.1 is essential for companies to meet industry standards and regulatory requirements in structural welding.
